Our dog has been playing at daycare, training and boarding at Alpha since she was a pup and she's now 4 1/2! She can't wait to get her leash on when she knows she's going to Alpha and she can't wait to see all her 4-legged friends and 2-legged staff friends at Alpha too! She is deeply in love with Rich Pearson, Alpha's professional dog trainer. We all love Alpha! Thank you!!

This was my first time using their service. What attracted me to them, as they are not the cheapest by far, was that my dog would get supervised play times with other dogs. They sent me photos of Max in outside play yard with other dogs.
Some of the information prior to coming was left out, like I should potion out my food in baggies or get charged an extra 30/per. That surprised me on drop off, but the woman on duty said she wouldn't charge me because it was the first I heard of that.
Over all I think they did a good job. Another client dropping off a dog said his dog always runs to get in. He likes being there. The next time I drop off my dog and if he is eager to go in, I will know they did an excellent job.

I can't thank Alpha pet resort enough for all you have done for myself and my companion!!! My Arwen had never been away from me, but while at the facility, they kept her busy snd happy. Arwen developed a UTI and they brought her to a vet and she was on antibiotics within hours. I was dealing with a medical issues, so while I was in turmoil around that, Alpha set my mind at ease with updates and photos of my dog. I will never be able to thank them enough for all they have done. DEFINITELY recommend to anyone who is even tentatively thinking of using them....
To keep our guests safe and healthy, we require all dogs to be up to date on their vaccinations for rabies, distemper combo, and Bordetella. The Canine Influenza vaccination is strongly recommended.

What can you teach my dog?

We’re happy to work on other or more specific goals you may have, which we can discuss further with you during your training evaluation.
How many days of Stay & Train should I book?
Stay & Train and Play & Train are most beneficial when your dog is able to attend for multiple consecutive days. For this reason, we offer 5-, 10-, and 15-day packages, but you can add or subtract any number of days you like. Ultimately, the more time your pup has with our trainers, the better the results.
Is my dog too old to benefit from training?
No! The “can’t teach an old dog” concept is a myth. Dogs of any age can pick up new skills with the right combination of patience and consistency. While it’s much easier to establish skills and habits in puppies, dogs of any age are capable of being trained.
